Battery Life for Gear S2 3G - Bluetooth vs. Mobile Network

[evlarberryman]

I have read many different findings regarding the battery life on the Gear S2 3G smartwatch. I am curious to know how you all are faring?

For me, I have the Gear S2 3G on AT&T since it's release in mid November. I have stayed current ont he updates as they've been released. As of today this is how long my battery is lasting:

Bluetooth On and Connected to my smartphone: 24 hours

Mobile Network set to "On" (all the time): 7-9 hours

Please note that GPS, WiFi, and NFC are set to OFF. If I turn GPS On, the above results are reduced by about 30%.

Please let us know how it is going for you.

The Poll is supposed to say "with mobile networks turned ON.

Sadly, polls are invisible in the Tapatalk app that I use to access this board.

My battery life has stabilized at 21 hours, after a few weeks. Since I charge every night, this is perfect.

There's no poll via the AC app either. But for my watch on BT I get a full day and a half of use before needing to charge. And I tinker with my watch all day.

Thank you... what about in standalone 3g (cellular mode)? How many hours do you all get?

I have the Bluetooth version and I can make it last for 2 full days without charging with "Always on" turned off. If I use always on I get less than a day.
